Pitchfork reviews LCD Soundsystem’s new live album London Sessions giving it a 8.2 out of 10.
For a group whose albums often seem like work of one studio-perfectionist mastermind, LCD Soundsystem have turned out to be one of the greatest live bands of the last decade. In fact, they do just about everything a great live band– especially a great live dance band– should do. Known to stretch their songs out to “special disco version” lengths, they’re able to bring audiences from simmering anticipation to hands-up screaming release in the span of a song, and then do it again. And then again. Like Remain in Light-era Talking Heads, the closest comparison to LCD at their current “locked-in but loose” onstage peak, they could release a live album that might offer equal thrills to their studio discs.

The album features 9 live tracks spanning across all 3 LCD albums, but unfortunately no Disco Infiltrator (totally my favorite song that I have never heard them play live).
